One study found that Douglas firs have the highest theoretical height, but most of the world’s tallest trees are redwoods.
The tallest tree in the world, a California redwood, stands 379 feet tall, or slightly taller than a football field is long. Redwoods of the past that have since been cut down probably stood even taller, and may even have reached the theoretical maximum height for trees.
The Fancy Scientist

Underwater ecosystems
Back in 1830, the word “Aquarium” (Latin) referred to a drinking place for cattle, like a watering trough. The Victorian mania for the use of indoor aquariums began with the book “The Aquarium,” published in 1854 by English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse[1].
Is there any science behind it?
I expected there to be a straightforward, single answer to this inquiry. But no, this seems to be a mystery. Nocturnally active moths are usually attracted to light sources as you have noticed. This event is known as positive phototaxis.
Some cases contained anomalies that could not be accounted for by conventional wisdom.
Cattle mutilations hit their peak in the 70s when hundreds of cases were reported in Colorado and New Mexico. Because of newspapers, radio, and television, reports were getting to millions of people within a day of the deaths.
“I’ve mainly been sharing information, but also doing posts reminding people that we can’t achieve environmental justice without achieving social justice. It’s amazing to see people, myself included, taking the time to learn more, stepping up and seeing what we can do to do better.”
How low can you go?
The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean, just east of the 14 Mariana Islands (11″21′ North, 142″ 12′ East) near Japan. As you probably already know, it is the deepest part of the earth’s oceans and the deepest location of the earth itself. It was created by ocean-to-ocean subduction, a phenomenon in which a plate topped by oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate topped by oceanic crust.
Ice water with lemon please.
Toads start out as tadpoles, fully aquatic, living in freshwater. They breathe through their gills by absorbing oxygen from the water. This is called cutaneous respiration. This continues until, in about 16 weeks, they have developed into frogs and now have lungs.
taxonomy [ tak-son-uh-mee ]
noun
Biology. the science dealing with the description, identification, naming, and classification of organisms.
Sage Fitzgerald is a Ph.D. student with the Climate Change Cluster at The University of Technology Sydney and a Research Assistant at the Museum of Tropical Queensland and ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. I recently heard her research on coral on a podcast that I have included below.
Which one should I eat.
When I go into the grocery store I see the expensive brown eggs and then there are the affordable white eggs. I’ve asked some folks the difference and they either don’t know or they tell me the brown ones are superior and I shouldn’t eat the white ones. I was confused?
